the n96 was suppose to be the n95's succesor and maybe replacement. The n95's sale rate will be hard to match . The n95 is still enjoing succes even after a couple of years since it was introduced on the market on the other hand the n96 has proved to be "thanks" to an unjustifiable price tag combined with an inability to bring almoast nothing new to this phone in comparance with the n95 , if not a failure then surely a chapter that nokia will try to forget.

i am using a n96. It is a good phone and no more then that. By no means can it be compared with the omnia series of samsung or the htc phones.in my country the price of n96 has only now went below 500 . I believe no one should pay that much on this phone , it's not worth it there are plenty of phones available on the market far better then this one
